Waaaaay back in 2005 I "founded" MRoogle. MRoogle is a custom front end to Google making it easy to search different areas of MacRumors [forums, guides, entire site], and use advanced options easily to help find what you're looking for (search time periods, all words, any words, exact phrase).

I haven't posted a thread about it since the one linked at the top of this post, and thought it might be time again since there are so many new members re-posting questions . It's a useful tool and in many cases is far better for helping you to find relevant threads than vBulletin's search, and because of the extra options available also beats the Google search you find under "Search" at the top of the page.

That's all really, just making all those newer peeps aware of it's existence, and that it might just help you find the answer when looking for help in future

In fact it would be quite handy to have an MRoogle link right in the Advanced Search Tab... is that possible or is there too much vbulletin hacking required?

There is already a Google search under the search option at the top of the forum. MRoogle just (IMO) does a better job and makes certain more advanced features of Google easy to use and readily available. I don't think it's something that could be integrated in to MR, nor do I imagine arn would want to anyway. It's easiest if people that want to use it just visit the site directly. It is a good and useful tool, those that do try it seems to go back and use it again

Fair enough, I knew about the google search, but MRoogle does to a better job (IMHO) hands down. I guess if I add it to my sig too at the very least I'll have a quick link for it.
